Yuri's initiates are powerful units that use the power of pyrokinesis with the assistance of classified technology to ignite fires. These flames are highly effective against infantry and reasonably effective against structures, but relatively weak against vehicles. However, this all changes if Yuri's initiates garrison a civilian structure. At that time, the firepower of even a few initiates increases dramatically to the point where only four garrisoned Initiates can destroy a Apocalypse tank in mere seconds.
